The Trap

If I were a mountain lion I would've been wary and wise back turned safely to the wall watching with careful eyes I would've been cautious, cagey and on the lookout for lies but instead I trusted blindly and fell for your disguise You were my blood relation a tie that was said to bind but when I hit my lowest low you were the most unkind You used me when convenient drained resources, energy exploited my better nature and got the best of me When others acted cruelly telling lies and tearing me down instead of you defending me you disowned me all over town You were the most insidious sneaky, snarky snipe proving true the back-stabbing best-friend stereotype But, at last I found you out your cover fully blown I watched you fall in your own trap and left you there alone
